Temptations

photo of a tall multi-storey building

Stacked, tempting the weak,
hierarchies of power—
pancakes for breakfast.

Full circle

Trees cleansing themselves
shed dead skin and dry blossoms
retrieve life through death.

In passing

photo of a leafless tree and a road traffic sign nearby that restricts speed to a 40km/h limit

Slow your horses down,
precious moments are crossing—
observe those nice trees.

Bloom

Roses have passed on,
my garden mint bears flowers—
little joys of life.

Container

Wooden enclosure
that’s bigger on the inside
life thrives in a tree.
